[EM] Proportional preferential voting

[Craig Carey]

The "principle 1" is incorrectly defined.

New definition:

Principle 1 (P1), Sat 18 Sept 1999

For all c (c is a candidate), all V, all V' (where
 V and V' are election systems), then if
  V' in AltAtAfter(V,c) and c loses V, then c
  also loses V'.

AltAtAfter(V,c) is defined to be the set of all
 election papers collections that can be derived
 from V by altering preferences at and/or after the
 preference for preference c.

For example, 

V:
  10 ABC
  11 B
  S

One system in AltAtAfter(V,'B') is this:
 10 A
  2 AB
  3 ACB
  4 AD
  1 B
  1 C
  S

No deletion of the ABC papers was possible, so
 since A has 19, 9 papers did come from the alteration
 of the 11 B preferential voting papers.

 Does Condorcet (1 winner) satisfy the (P1) ('principle 1')

What's that multiwinner method Schulze has: surely that's failed
 by (P1).
There could be a few more theories failed by my principle (P1).
It would be interesting to see if some can get a few of the
 giant scurrying brown cockroach like theories that move
 past the vision of the recipients of this mailing list (the
 'election-methods-list at eskimo.com' mailing list).
